The MRO has handed down their decisions from Saturday’s Round 7 action.

The only player to receive a suspension is Western Bulldogs forward Rhylee West, who copped a one-week ban for a high bump on Fremantle’s Brandon Walker.

West clipped Walker’s head during a forward 50 contest where he braced while the ball was in dispute as Sam Darcy went on to kick a goal.

While the Docker passed his concussion test, the MRO graded the incident as rough conduct that was careless, high contact and medium impact.

He’ll miss the Bulldogs’ clash against Hawthorn next Sunday at Marvel Stadium if he accepts the verdict.

Two other players also copped fines with Ollie Henry (striking) and Harry McKay (careless contact with an umpire) sanctioned for their actions in the Geelong v Carlton game at the MCG.
